In this episode, which we almost titled "Don't Take This The Wrong Way," we try to discern the difference between churches that desire to focus on being people of the kingdom and churches that do church for the sake of church. Are there clear markers for each? Is there an actual divide? Tune in, listen, and see where we land.

This is a re-broadcast of an episode we did under our former podcast name.

Tim T and Tim J get into the decades-long debate on whether or not Christians should participate in Halloween activities such as dressing up in costumes and trick-or-treating. In a few places, we respond to popular Christian YouTuber Mike Winger, who made a video about the issue. It is a lively discussion covering much ground and related topics such as holiness, imagination, fear, and Christian media. We hope you enjoy the episode!
